Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
May 7, 2026 - 11:51pm
Expires:
May 8, 2026 - 6:00am
Description:
Dry and windy conditions are expected this afternoon due to
minimum afternoon humidity ranging from 20 to 30 percent.
Northwesterly winds will gust between 25 and 35 mph. This,
combined with dry fuels, will mean that fires that develop may
spread quickly and be hard to contain. The time of lowest humidity
and therefore greatest concern for elevated fire weather
conditions is between 2 PM CDT and 7 PM CDT. Conditions are
expected to improve beyond that time.
